Bosch's SX motor is one of my favorites in the lightweight category. It loves high cadence, it has a surprising amount of peak power, and it's backed by Bosch's huge service network. The Fluid VLT puts it in a fun, affordable alloy trail bike.
It's not the lightest, but it's lively and easy to ride. Great for people who want an e-bike that still feels like a mountain bike without spending a fortune.
Honestly one of the best values in the light e-bike world.
What I like
- Bosch SX is punchy for its size
- Affordable
- Playful handling
What I don't
- Alloy frame is heavier than carbon rivals
- Smaller battery
Long-term test pending. Norco, if you'd like this one ridden and reviewed in full, let's talk.
